In recent years, the auto industry has experienced significant advancements, making research and development (R&D) of vehicle materials increasingly vital. Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), known for their lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, have demonstrated substantial potential in vehicle aesthetics, interior trim, power systems, and components manufacturing. Currently, aluminum-metal composites (such as Cu and Mg) and aluminum-nonmetal composites (including Si, C, and plastics) are the primary types of AMCs used in automobiles. A thorough investigation into their preparation, process mechanisms, and performance optimization is essential for the broader application of AMCs in new vehicle models. This review summarizes and analyzes the preparation methods, wear mechanism, performance enhancement strategies, strengthening mechanism, and economic impact of AMCs, discussing key influential factors to foster the development of new AMCs. Additionally, by examining the role of aluminum compound packing films in the pouch batteries of Electric Vehicles, also explores the future potential of AMCs within the new energy power sector.
近年来，汽车行业取得了重大进展，使得车辆材料的研发变得越来越重要。铝基复合材料（AMC）以其轻质、高强度和出色的耐腐蚀性而闻名，在车辆美观性、内饰、动力系统和零部件制造方面展现出了巨大潜力。目前，铝-金属复合材料（如铜和镁）以及铝-非金属复合材料（包括硅、碳和塑料）是汽车中使用的主要AMC类型。对其制备、工艺机制和性能优化进行深入研究，对于AMC在新车型中的更广泛应用至关重要。本综述总结并分析了AMC的制备方法、磨损机制、性能增强策略、强化机制和经济影响，讨论了促进新型AMC发展的关键影响因素。此外，通过研究铝复合包装膜在电动汽车软包电池中的作用，还探索了AMC在新能源电力领域的未来潜力。
